Does the phrase "to swap diseases" makes any sense in English?Let me tell you in which context I want to use that phrase:
I have two sons, 2 weeks ago one of them caught chickenpox and the other one caught the Fifth disease. In more or less ten days both of them were almost cured.
But yesterday evening both started with fever..and guess what? Yes, the one who had chickenpox now has caught the Fifth disease whereas the one who had the Fifth disease has now caught chickenpox.
How do you say this in English... "they have swapped diseases"? what do you suggest?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Does it make more sense if I say:
"they have swapped infections" instead of diseases?

They infected each other.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
